CHERUBIM CELLO COMPETITION
We invite entries for a competition to decide the loan of two valuable
mid-19thC cellos.
Both are mature instruments with powerful tone suitable for soloists.
â—€ Collin-Mezin ‘Rothermere’ cello, without bow. Hear it here.

The loan is offered for five years, with an annual charge of £600pa, including insurance.
Cherubim seeks to work collaboratively with awardees of its instruments, and may occasionally ask awardees to play in concerts which are sometimes recorded for YouTube.
Cherubim asks it awardees to agree to the use of their pictures and biographical details on our website and elsewhere.
